A British School at Rome Architecture Award enables architects and architectural historians to immerse themselves in this visually stunning city whilst also benefiting from the BSR’s internationally-important Architectural exhibition programme and its unique residential research community.
The Giles Worsley Rome Fellowship is awarded to an architect or architectural historian, to allow them to spend three months at the BSR, studying an architectural topic of their choice. The Fellowship’s aim is to encourage architects and architectural historians to experience the reality of influential Italian buildings and carry out research in and around the city, while benefiting from the collegiate life of the BSR.
Giles Worsley, the distinguished architectural historian and critic, died of cancer in 2006 at the age of 44. He was an enthusiastic visitor to Italy and a great believer in the importance of Italian architecture of all periods in understanding the development of Western architecture. He was concerned that architecture schools do not give adequate emphasis to the teaching of architectural history and that architectural historians should be encouraged to experience the reality of influential Italian buildings.
